Mr. Prabhat Kumar Deepak Mr. Yoganand Tiwary Ms. Meena Singh, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MADHURESH PRASAD ORAL ORDER 09-03-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for informant who has appeared along with learned APP for the State.

Petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Barauni P.S. Case No. 521 of 2018 registered under Sections 307 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed on record a supplementary affidavit to the effect that the charges have been framed by order dated 17.02.2022 (Annexure-4 to the supplementary affidavit).

On earlier occasion, i.e., on 01.12.2020, this Court had rejected the prayer for bail having regard to the allegation

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.37619 of 2021(6) dt.09-03-2022 2/2 against the petitioner of shooting upon the chest of the informant.

In view of the fact that charges have admittedly been framed, this Court is not persuaded to take a different view today and would expect expeditious conclusion of the trial. Learned counsel for the informant is also present and submits that without seeking any unnecessary adjournment, the informant shall ensure that the trial proceeds expeditiously. In view of the such submissions, this application is rejected for the present. If the trial does not make any substantial progress and is not concluded, the petitioner would be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after six months. (Madhuresh Prasad, J) SUMIT/- U T
